SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3501–3520), federal agencies must
obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they collect or
sponsor. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
PRA (944 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) requires
federal agencies to provide a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the
collection of information to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CSOSA is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
The proposed information collection
activity provides a means to garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The Agency has traditionally used
paper form surveys as its primary public
information collection method.
However, to further comply with the
goals of the PRA, the Agency is
planning to implement the use of online
electronic survey tools to obtain
customer and client feedback regarding
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
Agency programs and supervision
support services. The Agency will
request authorization from OMB to add
to the Agency’s current paper form
option provided to our public
stakeholders, an electronic option to
complete the Agency’s standard surveys
online. The contents in online version
and in paper versions of the Agency’s
surveys will be identical.
Similar to the process used for gaining
public feedback via the Agency’s
traditional paper form surveys, the
online surveys would be forwarded to
the meeting participants at the
conclusion of an event or program via
the participants previously registered
email address. The results of the
electronic surveys would be tallied by
the online software and then forward to
a centralized user account for further
evaluation and review or to be merged
with any results from completed hard
copy paper surveys. Prior to
implementation and use of the online
survey, the Agency will conduct
internal testing with fewer than nine
members of the public to ensure proper
functioning and ease of use.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
1. The collections are voluntary;
2. The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the federal
government;
3. The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other federal agencies;
4. Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
5. Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
6. Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management

purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
7. Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
8. Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Current Actions: New collection of
information.
Type of Review: New Collection.
(1) Affected Public: Individuals
currently under CSOSA supervision.
CSOSA stakeholders including criminal
justice system (e.g., judges, law
enforcement officers) and community
partners.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
450.
Below we provide projected average
estimates for the next three years:
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 15.
Average Number of Respondents per
Activity: 30.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
each collection of information they collect or sponsor. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (944 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) requires federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning
each proposed collection of information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting
the collection of information to OMB for approval. To comply with this
requirement, CSOSA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document. The proposed information
collection activity provides a means to garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with
the Administration's commitment to improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights
on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of
study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of
issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication,
training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or
services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The Agency has traditionally used paper form surveys as its primary
public information collection method. However, to further comply with
the goals of the PRA, the Agency is planning to implement the use of
online electronic survey tools to obtain customer and client feedback
regarding Agency programs and supervision support services. The Agency
will request authorization from OMB to add to the Agency's current
paper form option provided to our public stakeholders, an electronic
option to complete the Agency's standard surveys online. The contents
in online version and in paper versions of the Agency's surveys will be
identical.
Similar to the process used for gaining public feedback via the
Agency's traditional paper form surveys, the online surveys would be
forwarded to the meeting participants at the conclusion of an event or
program via the participants previously registered email address. The
results of the electronic surveys would be tallied by the online
software and then forward to a centralized user account for further
evaluation and review or to be merged with any results from completed
hard copy paper surveys. Prior to implementation and use of the online
survey, the Agency will conduct internal testing with fewer than nine
members of the public to ensure proper functioning and ease of use.
The solicitation of feedback will target areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of issues with service delivery.
Responses will be assessed to plan and inform efforts to improve or
maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If this
information is not collected, vital feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency's services will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the following conditions:
1. The collections are voluntary;
2. The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or
burden-hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents
and the federal government;
3. The collections are non-controversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other federal agencies;
4. Any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
5. Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected only to
the extent necessary and is not retained;
6. Information gathered will be used only internally for general
service improvement and program management purposes and is not intended
for release outside of the agency;
7. Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of
substantially informing influential policy decisions; and
8. Information gathered will yield qualitative information; the
collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically
reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the
population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful
information, but it does not yield data that can be generalized to the
overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative
information will not be used for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as
monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such

precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed
